When the banquet of the Xiangyang City Government ended, the time came to an early hour. Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Wang Cang, Liu Xian and his party bid farewell to Li Mu and went to pack up. Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Biao, the Kuai brothers and their entourage left Xiangyang City and hurriedly went to various places to take up their posts.

Liu Biao and his entourage would never have dreamed that their life would end like this. Liu Biao and his entourage, what they would not have thought of was...... Throughout their lives, they never had the chance to return to Xiangyang City; Throughout their lives, they were never promoted in official positions.

From the second day when the Liangzhou army entered Xiangyang City, Li Mu launched drastic innovations in Nanjun and Jiangxia County. The political, civil, military, commercial and other aspects of the two counties are all in accordance with the laws of the Liangzhou military.

After some rectification and assessment, most of the Jingzhou soldiers who were originally stationed in Xiangyang City were incorporated into the Liangzhou Military and Naval Division, and the remaining few soldiers were dismissed and returned home. In this way, it is naturally difficult for the Jingzhou soldiers in Xiangyang City to form a small group.

Among the five major families in Jingzhou, except for the Huang family and the Pang family, they have already served in the Liangzhou army; Under heavy pressure, the Kuai family had to give up their family business, and the decline of their family was a foregone conclusion; Cai's family, due to the death of its head Cai Mao, the Liangzhou army disintegrated it without much effort; Xi's family, which is difficult to support alone, also dedicated all the family business of his family.

In just half a month, the families and heroes of Nanjun and Jiangxia County were all wiped out by the Liangzhou army, and the appearance of the two places was also completely new. Among them, the people who benefit the most are naturally the people of Nanjun and Jiangxia County.

Of course, when the Liangzhou Army destroyed the families and heroes of Nanjun and Jiangxia County, it was not smooth sailing. Some relatively small families and heroes have also resisted, but ...... Only the butcher's knife of the Liangzhou army greeted them. The end result is...... Some of these families who tried to resist were wiped out by the Five Clans, and some by the Three Clans.

The establishment of any new order is nothing but stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, accompanied by a bloody wind and rain, and a lot of bones. In this process, many innocent people will die, but it is extremely necessary. If these obstacles are not removed, the new order will not be able to function properly.

In order to establish a new order, for the future of the people of the world, and for the glory of the empire, Li Mu must give up the kindness in his heart, and he can only use endless iron and blood to re-establish a complete and feasible order for this era!

No matter what the later people think of Li Mu's bloody practices, how they talk about Li Mu's cruel behavior. Li Mu will neither give up nor hesitate in the slightest. For the future of tens of millions of people, for the future of future generations, he Li Mu should do this, and he must do this!

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City Mansion!

On this day, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Dian Wei, Ma Teng, Fu Yan, Huo Yi and his party still came to the palace to sit in the hall as usual.

"This time, our army went south to Jingxiang, and the road was like a bamboo. In less than half a month, Liu Jingsheng's Jingzhou army was annihilated. Now, half a month has passed, and the situation in Nanjun and Jiangxia County has stabilized. ”

Li Mu looked around at the civil and military forces in the hall, and then said loudly with a smile on his face: "Right now, the time is ripe to cross the river south and attack the Jingnan army. I mean...... Three days later, the army left Jiangling and marched south to Sun Ce. ”

"The lord is wise!"

Hearing what his lord said, the Liangzhou army was greatly excited, and replied in unison.

"As you see ......"

Li Mu nodded, looked around at the civil and military forces again, and then asked in a solemn voice: "How should I enter the army this time to conquer Sun Ce?" ”

"According to the information sent by the members of our army's Tanma and Wind Shadow several times...... At present, Sun Ce gathered the main force of the Jingnan Army on the line of Linxiangcheng, Yiyang, Luoxian, and Liling in Changsha County. ”

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, Pang Tong told the information he had and said one by one: "In Lingling County and Guiyang County, there are only a few soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Army. Because Wuxi Man was mainly active in Wuling County, and Sun Ce was the leader of Shamoke, he ...... The garrison of the Jingnan Army in Wuling County is even rarer! ”

Li Mu nodded, and after pondering for three or five breaths, he looked in the direction of Pang Tong and asked, "Right now, the fighting strength of the Jingnan Army ...... How many? ”

Pang Tong immediately replied: "Excluding the defensive forces of the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling, Sun Ce's available land and water soldiers and horses have a maximum of 70,000 people!" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a few breaths, and then said aloud with a rather determined expression: "Gather 70,000 troops in Changsha County, it seems that ...... Sun Ce was prepared. Sun Ce wanted to stick to the old nest of Changsha County and tried to ...... our army Blocked north of the river. ”

"What the third brother said is very true!"

Li Mu said in a loud voice that was convinced: "Sun Ce knows himself...... Once our army successfully crosses the river and enters the hinterland of the Jingnan Army, the Jingnan Army will definitely be defeated. So...... Sun Ce gathered his army on the front line of Yiyang and Luoxian, near the Great River, in order to hold the road of our army's southward advance. ”

"That's what the lord said!"

"The army sent troops from Jiangling City and went south to Changsha County, and there were two roads to go. The first way, the army detours through Wuling County, which can enter the western part of Changsha County. This road is quite long, and it is not suitable for the march of large armies!

On the second day, after the army left Jiangling City, they could enter Yunmengze by boat, and then enter Dongting Lake through the river waterway. On the south shore of Dongting Lake, there are two landing ferries, one in Yiyang and the other in Luoxian. ”

"Yiyang and Luoxian are on the south bank of Dongting Lake, which is really ...... The only way for our army to go south. If our army can successfully capture these two key roads, the army can enter the hinterland of Changsha County, and it can directly threaten Linxiang City. If our army can defeat the main force of the Jingnan Army on the front line of Yiyang and Luoxian, it will ...... The fall of Sun Cejun is just around the corner! ”

Hearing what Zhang Liao and his own father-in-law said, Pang Tong also thought so, and then he analyzed it loudly.

"Sun Ce is more than brave, but not resourceful! This person, don't worry! ”

Li Mushen nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a solemn voice: "Lujiang Zhou Gongjin is not only a talented general, but also a person who is deeply strategic. This person is really a fierce enemy of our army! With Zhou Gongjin's strategy, it must be expected...... Our army will enter Dongting Lake and enter Changsha County by water. ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Pang Tongyi smiled leisurely and said: "With the combat strength of our army, it is really not difficult to break the Jingnan army!" ”

Li Mu knew in his heart that Pang Tong must have a strategy to break the enemy.
